Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar of Johor has revealed that he had once rebuffed an "agent" who represented someone seeking the "Tan Sri" title and was willing to pay RM2 million.

The sultan was not amused, the New Straits Times reported.

"There were agents who came to see me and told me that I have Tan Sri quotas for sale and wanted to give me RM2 mllion for the title.

"I told the agent, who I do not wish to name because it would be embarrassing, to get lost. I do not sell titles," he told NST during an interview.
